4162 Code GEMI Eve's Love Letters Hal Roach
Featuring Stan Laurel and Agnes Ayres Laurel, as a butler, finds himself aiding his employer's wife to recover some compromising letters, from the hunting lodge of Sir Oliver Hardy, before the husband learns of their existence.
At the lodge they are interrupted by the arrival of the husband. They both don identical costumes improvised from lamp shades and velvet curtains. Laurel detains the husband long enough to enable the wife to reach home first, and then follows them both.
Here follows a series of laughable scenes in which both husband and wife are suspicious of each other's actions — quick changes of costumes by both Laurel and the wife add to the amusement of the audience and mystification of the husband.
